Landlords solutions

This guy, bobby, was terrible. We agreed to meet at my property in Baltimore. I see his car arrive, but i’m not sure its him, so I wait, with my phone just in case. No phone calls, but 15 minutes later while I am working on the house, he comes up and knocks. He’s looking through the window, and I smile at him, and he asks if «Im the lady that called about the house?» Im thinking in my head, «You don’t know the name of the person you are meeting?» So, he see’s the house, but I can immediately tell that he has a problem with me, or can’t seem to talk to me right. My partner, who is male, gets all positive responses, I get all negative responses. So I just let them go. To make a long story short, I said by and escorted him to the door. My partner and I both agreed that all he did was try to down what I was doing, or ignore me, while asking my male partner all the questions.
I have met with many contractors over the past year. This has, by far, been the most blatantly discriminatory meeting I have had. Because I am a women, because of my race, whichever, it was the worst salesmen shipshipjob I have ever encountered. And, this is after he’s asking me why I am doing so much to for a rental property I wont live in (like, not blocking the utility sink with a washer machine, when all it takes is an extension of the hoses to put it against the other wall to not block a very useful utility sink). I just got the feeling of arrogance, slumminess, and discord. Thats a first, and this IS Baltimore.
I am deploying to Afghanistan in a month, and no way in HECK would i trust this guy with the management of my property. I don’t give 1 star unless they cuss me out, this was blatant, but he at least semi went through some half hearted motions of trying to garner my business. Have fun out there, and make sure you fully vet the people who are going to be responsible for maintaining rental properties and communicating with tenants.
